When your resources are
limited due to a crisis, your ability to improvise will help you survive and
find the resources you may be lacking. It will be your ability to “make do”
with what is available that will enable you to survive even the worst of
circumstances.

The problem with resources
is the fact that they may not be readily apparent at first glance. The more common the use of an item has will
be a definite deterrent to the process. This will make it harder for you to
envision a different use that can be applied to fit your needs. We all have a
tendency to view things in a more normal application of their use during normal
times.

In a period of crisis, you
will need to switch your thinking to an “outside of the box” mentality. This is
where a simpler type of thinking will be of benefit. The best way to approach
the problem of limited resources is by viewing everything as a multi-use item.

Many of us are familiar with
various multi-use items like a bandanna or duct tape. This can also be applied
to a multitude of different items in a crisis. Just don’t limit your thoughts
to the specific or more common use of an item and you will find new ways to use
things that aren’t readily apparent. Don’t place arbitrary limits on your
resources until you’ve given it some thought.

Stealth hunting You may need to hunt over bait with 22 rifle and quiet subsonic ammo to feed your children...... we also keep a couple 50# bags of black oil sunflower seeds around as the Mrs. is an avid bird/wildlife watcher....... our visitors include doves, squirrels, raccoons, porcupines, and black bears. Easy protein, without leaving the yard.

re CCI 22 CB Longs Survival Guns by Mel Tappan page 177 quote " In a barrel of 22" or longer the CB cap is almost totally silent.At a distance of 8 feet from the muzzle of my 24" Anschutz, the sound level from firingwas only 9 db, and at 15 feet was totally inaudible. Not only does this lack of noise make the CCI long CB caps desirable for indoor or backyard target practice, it makes them virtually a necessity for survival use should you ever need to do some shooting withoutattracting attention or alarming game in the neighborhood." unquote Remington CB 33 gr @ 740 fps = 40 ft lb Remington subsonic 22LR 38 gr @ 1050 = 93 ft lb, is very little louder than the CB. From Marlinmodel 25 22LR rifle I put 3 Remington subsonics in 3/4 inch group at 50 yards. http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/66774-5.html

Preppin' Tips - DIY

An expedient oxygen absorber for a 5 gallon storage container can be made by placing a golf ball size piece of steel wool and a tablespoon of salt inside a paper napkin and placing it in the container. The salt will absorb the residual moisture and the steel wool will naturally absorb the oxygen.

Preppin' Tips - Recipes

Make Your Own Electrolyte Beverage (Gatorade, Pedialyte, etc.)

To one quart of water add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 8 teaspoons of granulated sugar. Thoroughly mix all ingredients together.

This will replace electrolytes lost by the body due to dehydration caused by diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating, etc. A package of Kool-Aid, Crystal Light, etc. may be added to enhance the flavor and color.
